Love the deck concept. In a funky way this is like the old Bargain deck. It used Yawgmoth's Bargain to draw through the deck looking for copies of Soul Feast and used the life gain to keep drawing until they found their Yawgmoth's Will and then would just cast the Soul Feast's from the yard until their opponent died. It did use discarding cards to a Skirge Familiar to produce mana when it was needed.

Your deck replaces life drain with straight life gain and just outright casting every card. From your playtesting, it's win rate is 50/50 or so? How consistant did the deck feel though? Like how often during testing did you hit your combo consistantly on X turn?

DemonDragonJ on Will WotC Keep Life Loss …

In Dominaria, there were a number of black cards that dealt damage to players, rather than causing those players to lose life, as has been traditional for black. Black has, in fact, dealt damage in the past, but always when draining life, as seen on cards such as Corrupt or Tendrils of Corruption.

Mark Rosewater has commented on this matter on his Tumblr account, saying that WotC is testing the idea of black dealing damage instead of causing life loss, but I very much hope that black retains life loss, as that is an essential aspect of black and helps to make it distinct from red, so removing that aspect would be bleeding the colors into each other. Not only that, it is pure laziness by WotC to think that players cannot handle the difference between the two effects.

Also, there are important reason both in terms of flavor and mechanics for maintaining life loss in black: first, from a flavor perspective, being punched in the face or struck with a bolt of lightning is very different from blood slowly draining from one’s body; second, from a mechanical perspective, effects such as Furnace of Rath will multiply damage from effects such as Lightning Bolt, but not life loss from effects such as Soul Feast, and a circle of protection will prevent the damage from a lightning bolt but not the life loss from soul feast.

Thankfully, black cards in Battlebond are causing life loss rather than damage, so I hope that WotC realizes that black should keep that essential aspect of its identity. What does everyone else say about this? Do you hope that WotC keeps life loss in black?

I ran a B/W vampire deck at my prerelease and got really excited for vampires in standard. I love this deck, but no Bishop of Rebirth? I ran a few Sheltering Lights and Adanto Vanguards for combat trick shenanigans and because the vanguard can be a serious threat. Skittering Heartstopper ain't a vampire, but I noticed it help keep those dinosaurs off me as a blocker. I also sealed one game with Blight Keeper's sac ability. a Soul Feast on a creature!
